Meet Pele!
If you’ve visited us at the center, you’ve likely seen Pele in action. He is the definition of a "hands-on" team member—literally! Whether he’s checking gear, prepping the boat, or making sure everything behind the scenes is running like a well-oiled machine, Pele has his hand in everything to ensure your day on the water is perfect.
Why we love having Pele on deck:
The Ultimate Multitasker: From the compressor to the coastline, he’s everywhere at once.
Problem Solver: If something needs fixing or a guest needs a hand, Pele is already on it.
The Engine of the Center: His energy keeps the vibe high and the operations smooth.
A dive center is only as strong as the people who keep it moving, and Pele is the glue that holds it all together. Next time you see him at the shop or on the boat, give him a shout-out for everything he does!
🌊 Come say hi to Pele and the rest of the crew on your next adventure!

Blue Dreams in Boa Vista 🇨🇻

​If you’re looking for a sign to dive into the Atlantic, this is it! Boa Vista isn’t just about the dunes—what’s happening beneath the surface right now is pure magic.

​May is a special time here in Cape Verde. The winter winds have settled, the water is warming up, and the visibility is opening up into that endless turquoise we all dream about.

Meet Ossa👋

Born and raised in Morocco I left for France in 2006 and been working there in sales and management for 10 years before I decided to travel the world with plans.
My story with scuba diving started in a very small island in North Sumatra Indonesia and after my very first dive I knew thats what I want to do every day for the rest of my life.
I decided then to pursue a career as a diving professional and took the next year and a half training all the way from open water diver up to Scuba Diving Instructor.
I always say that was the best decision in my life, I had the chance to travel even more and work around the world.
After gaining experience as a diving instructor I got also the opportunity to use my management knowledge and skills for the diving industry.
I have been working as a diving instructor and dive centre manager in Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Maldives,Philippines Senegal.
after finally I decided to settle down in the wonderful Cabo Verde I had the chance to join the amazing team at Riamar on Boa Vista Island every day is a sunny and everyday we get to discover the amazing underwater world.
